Broadridge on Tuesday said it has extended the core tokenisation engine behind its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) solution, built for regulated institutional settlement, to support operations across multiple product segments within a single, consistent framework.

“Institutions can now operate with one set of tokenisation rails, one governance standard, and one operational model across their entire tokenised asset portfolio.”

The US firm also said its post-trade infrastructure now supports tokenised and traditional assets within the same processing ecosystem and control framework.

“By building on existing post-trade infrastructure, Broadridge is enabling clients to integrate tokenised assets with greater speed, lower cost, and less operational complexity, allowing clients to process tokenised securities, fractionalised assets, and crypto-related holdings alongside conventional instruments,” the fintech explained.

“We’re delivering a suite of capabilities that support the trading of tokenised securities across our infrastructure with the established systems, controls, and workflows institutional investors rely on every day,” said Frank Troise, president of Broadridge’s global capital markets business.

“Bringing together digital innovation with proven trading, connectivity, and post-trade infrastructure will enable our clients to unlock liquidity and reduce friction across their operations while maintaining the scale, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance required in global capital markets.”

Solving the interoperability conundrum

Broadridge also said it connects directly to major public and permissioned Layer 1 blockchain networks, including Canton, Ether, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), giving institutions a single integration point across the distributed infrastructure landscape.

“This allows operations teams to manage business workflow, oversight, and risk through familiar controls, while Broadridge manages the underlying connectivity complexity required to support a multi-network market environment.”

The New York-based fintech launched agentic artificial intelligence capabilities on Monday, which can automatically process critical operational transactions across post-trade and client services spanning multiple asset classes.

Circle on Monday launched a new set of products and capabilities, termed "Circle Agent Stack," powered by Circle Gateway, to help enable agents as autonomous economic actors.
